Cavatina by Stanley Myers Flute - Digital Sheet Music

CAVATINA for FLUTE and GUITAR (guitar in score and tab)

CAVATINA for FLUTE and GUITAR (guitar in score and tab)For Classical or Acoustic Guitar - sometimes it's erroneously listed here as Electric Guitar.Derek Hasted writes "The beautifully melodic "Cavatina" was made famous by John Williams, who arranged the piece for solo guitar and produced some effortless recordings of it. Audiences equate effortless with easy, but it can be a bit of a beast to play well.Why this arrangement?I’ve lowered the key by one tone which makes many of the chords sound more mellow.I’ve fixed the ungainly jumps in the bass line which came as a constraint of playing up the neck on solo guitar.I’ve improved the connectivity of the middle voices from chord to chord so the chord changes sound more effortless and natural.By virtue of the key change and careful use of enharmonic equivalents, the guitar part is now on familiar ground.A side effect is that everything is easier and the sustain seems more effortless.I also have versions for two guitars - to find them easily, visit my website (below) and look for my list of guitar duets.I hope you enjoy playing this piece!" This is one of a large and growing range of accessible ensembles from experienced arranger Derek Hasted, and is supplied as full score and parts. Derek's website at www.derek-hasted.co.uk/smp lists all his arrangements by title and by "number of instruments", with links to soundclips and sample score.
